The NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II is the world’s first 24-70mm f/2.8 full-frame mirrorless lens with an internal zoom mechanism*, redefining versatility, stability and compactness for this essential class of pro zoom lens. The lens is faster and quieter with Nikon’s best AF system to date and a new optical formula that takes sharpness, bokeh and anti-glare performance to new levels.
• Internal zoom. The internal zoom mechanism increases zooming stability and dust- and drip-resistant performance. Ideal for use with gimbals and matte boxes, with no change to center of gravity when zoom position is changed.
• Faster. Quieter. Smoother. Autofocus is 5x faster*, and 50% quieter, ensuring that operational sounds don’t interrupt video recording.
• Smooth Focus Transitions. Focus breathing has been suppressed to less than half the amount of the previous generation 24-70mm f/2.8 S, plus jitter-free subject tracking during push-ins.
• Custom control. Control ring click on/off switch lets you choose between precise, incremental click adjustments** or smooth, seamless changes.
• Close focus/High magnification. Focus as close as 9.5 inches at 24mm, with a maximum magnification of 0.32x at 70mm.
• Beautiful bokeh. The combination of a constant f/2.8 aperture and 11 rounded diaphragm blades produces soft, round bokeh with natural gradation.
